GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace evident with Rumillion and Nimmari leading the way from Uber Mission and Rain Check. UBER MISSION (2) has been in great form with four placings in succession, most recently when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1300m at this track when she was handy all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CLEAN SLATE (6) last appeared six weeks ago over 1400m at Kanazawa when he finished eighth. This is his first run for the Masanori Mashima stable. Definite winning chance in this line-up. RUMILLION (5) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage 11th over 1400m at Sonoda. Likely improver worth including. RAFT (10) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths. Likely improver and has to be included.
